Aloha leilaniguy,
What do you use to carry the county water? Where do you store it? If you are not cleaning these (often) with bleach then your jugs are contaminating the water--especially if they are clear plastic.
I like catchment water--less dependent on the state. But it does take some work, which not everyone is able to do. Why not a program where people could sign up for county workers to come by monthly or so to maintain the system? In Kaumana there was talk of extending the water system but when the the cost of $20,000 or more per household came up the plan did not get too far.
